Explanation:

Millar Company

Sale Price = $89 per unit

Fixed Cost = $68,400 per month

Variable Cost = $57 per unit

a. Fixed Costs are the cost that do not increase or decrease with the change in the amount of goods and services. For instance, Rent of the premises or salaries of employees.

b. Contribution Margin Per Unit = Sale Price per unit - Variable Cost per unit

Contribution Margin Per Unit = $89 per unit - $57 per unit

Contribution Margin Per Unit = $32

c. Fixed Cost will remain same and will not vary accordingly.

d. At break even Fixed Cost is equal to variable cost and not sales volume.
